Course Details
• Fundamentals of Nutrigenomics: Introduction to the study of how genes and nutrition interact, including the role of nutrients in gene expression and the potential for personalized nutrition.
• Nutritional Biochemistry: Overview of the biochemical processes related to nutrition, including the metabolism of macronutrients and micronutrients, and the impact of nutrition on gene expression and cellular function.
• Micronutrients and Antioxidants: Examination of vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals, their roles in the body, and their impact on health and disease. The emphasis will be placed on the antioxidant properties of these nutrients and their role in preventing chronic diseases.
• Macronutrients and Energy Metabolism: Exploration of the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, including their role in energy production and utilization, and their impact on health and disease.
• Nutrigenetics and Genomic Testing: Examination of the role of genetics in nutrition, including the use of genomic testing to guide personalized nutrition recommendations. This unit will cover the basics of genetics, genetic testing, and the interpretation of genetic test results for nutrition purposes.
• Nutritional Epidemiology: Overview of the methods used to study the relationship between nutrition and health at the population level. This unit will cover observational studies, clinical trials, and other research methods used to study the impact of nutrition on health outcomes.
• Nutritional Assessment and Intervention: Examination of the methods used to assess nutritional status and the development of nutrition interventions. This unit will cover dietary assessment methods, biochemical markers of nutritional status, and the development of nutrition interventions for individuals and populations.
• Nutrigenomics and Chronic Diseases: Exploration of the role of nutrigenomics in the prevention and management of chronic diseases such as obesity
